From the kickstarter page
I'd actually read all of those things, but reading them in that order somehow cleared up most of my confusion.
I was for some reason under the impression that each pillar would be funded by an entirely separate venture.
All thats left is how they will be funding the (unfortunately probably inevitable) shortfall of the final $500k mark, which apparently has not even decided by them yet.
Thank you very much.
Also please excuse my somewhat cynical nature. This was my first kickstarter backing, and perhaps due to just general confusion of the nature of crowd-funding systems, and concerns from backers of the initial GoIO, I was slightly skeptical.
Again, thanks for all the feedback.
